ORLANDO, Fla. – As one of the original architects of the tournaments now know as “signature events,’’ Rory McIlroy is indifferent about the fact that some of them—including the Arnold Palmer Invitational—have a 36-hole cut despite such a small field.
But he’s got no issue with the smaller fields in general.
“No, I mean, I’m all for making it more cutthroat, more competitive,’’ he said Friday at the Bay Hill Club, where he finds himself six shots behind the leaders after two days. “Probably won’t be very popular for saying this but I’m all for less players and less Tour cards, and the best of the best.’’
